This is a big part of the problem...
Paul's lame attempts to reach out to the hawks with calls for increasing defense spending turned off his base and didn't really bring any new people on board.
Well, of course the hawks aren't going to be impressed, when Scott "I'd bomb Iran on my first day" Walker is polling well, and there's also Lindsay "I'm McCain's warmongering sidekick" Graham and Rick "Let's invade Iraq" Perry running. Not to imply that Jeb wouldn't follow in the footsteps of his father and brother and give us another Iraq war.
